The Health Infrastructure Plan announced in 2019 is delivering a long-term, rolling five-year programme of investment in health infrastructure, including capital to build new hospitals, modernise mental health facilities, improve primary care and build up our infrastructure in interconnected areas such as public health and social care. For example, in 2020, the Government committed £450 million to upgrade accident and emergency departments, £400 million to eradicate dormitory accommodation from mental health facilities, and £600 million to upgrade and refurbish National Health Service (NHS) hospitals. Birmingham trusts received investment from all these schemes. The capital settlement for the next 3 years has provided additional capital for the NHS, including for elective recovery. All health systems, including Birmingham, will shortly receive details of their allocations.
